The attack, which happened at 4.30am last Friday, left the windows, front door and garage ruined.
The homeowner's daughter said she was "seething" after her family started feeling sick due to the liquid thrown on their house.
She wrote on Facebook: "No, l'm not angry I'm positively seething. Woken up at 4am by someone throwing what we suspect is used engine oil at the front of my father's house now smelling through the whole property making us all feel very very sick.
"l only woke up by chance after hearing something being thrown at the downstairs window.
"If you know who this was please do the right thing and call it in."
